10CD Box Set Covers The Prolific Period Of 1972-1976!
Features 62 Unreleased, Alternate, Different Mixes, Rare Or Live Tracks!
Neil Young Solo + with Crazy Horse, The Stray Gators, The Santa Monica Flyers, the Stills/Young Band & CSNY!
This is the second volume of the Neil Young Archives series of box sets produced by Neil Young. A definitive, comprehensive, chronological record of his entire body of released work.
This box set covers the extremely productive period from 1972 through 1976. A prolific era for Neil when he released several classic albums including On The Beach, Tonight's The Night and Zuma. Homegrown, just released, is part of this history as well. The box set features a total of 131 tracks of which 62 are either unreleased songs or unreleased alternate versions, different mixes, rare or live tracks.
This retail version of the box set includes the same 10 CDs and oversized fold-out Archives Poster as the deluxe edition, plus a 24-page booklet (replacing the hard-bound book). The retail edition is packaged in a cube-shaped slip-case box, smaller than the deluxe edition box.
The 10 CDs, each in its own custom sleeve, feature a total of 131 tracks from Neil Young solo, plus with bands Crazy Horse, The Stray Gators, The Santa Monica Flyers, the Stills/Young Band and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
...[T]he appeal of this ten-CD box set is hearing all of this music in context, letting the songs speak to each other as the moods shift from melancholy to euphoria. Surprises both large and small abound....This subtle but distinct reframing is as worthwhile as the treasure trove of officially unreleased songs. Combined, they make for an absorbing, essential box set.
